Restaurant revenue for Q2 2014 increased to $6.82 million, compared to $1.64 million in the comparable period in 2013, and increased 22.9% quarter-over-quarter from $5.55 million in the previous quarter ended March 31, 2014 ("Q1"). Restaurant revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2014 increased to $12.37 million, compared to $3.28 million in the comparable period in 2013, an increase of 276.6%.The sequential increase from Q1 2014 as well as the year-to-date increases are attributable mostly to our acquisitions of the Hooters restaurants in the Pacific Northwest on January 31, 2014 and the increase in our ownership in our Hooters restaurant in Campbelltown, Australia on April 1, 2014 (collectively, the "2014 Acquisitions").

Restaurant cost of sales for Q2 2014 were 36.0% compared to 38.7% in the comparable period in 2013 and 35.8% in Q1 2014. Restaurant cost of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2014 were 35.9% compared to 38.5% in the comparable period in 2013. The Company anticipates continuing quarter-over-quarter gross profit margin decreases across its restaurant territories and brands throughout the remainder of 2014.

Restaurant operating expenses for Q2 2014 were $4.01 million, or 58.8% of restaurant revenue, compared to $932,250, or 56.8% of restaurant revenue, in the comparable period in 2013 and 59.2% in Q1 2014. Restaurant operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2014 were $7.29 million, or 59.0% of restaurant revenue, compared to $1.91 million, or 58.2% of restaurant revenue, in the comparable period in 2013. The increases in restaurant operating expenses in 2014 are attributable largely to the 2014 Acquisitions. General and administrative expenses ("G&A") for Q2 2014 were $1.25 million, or 18.0% of total revenue, compared to $645,648, or 38.8% of total revenue, in the comparable period in 2013. G&A for the six months ended June 30, 2014 were $2.86 million, or 22.8% of total revenue, compared to $1.37 million, or 41.0% of total revenue, in the comparable period in 2013. The dollar increase in G&A was primarily due to increased payroll, professional and consulting fees related to our growth both for the Company and its subsidiaries.

Restaurant EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure,* for Q2 2014 increased to $451,776, compared to $74,707 in the comparable period in 2013, and increased 32.9% sequentially from $339,926 in Q1 2014. Restaurant EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2014 increased to $791,702, compared to $111,349 in the comparable period in 2013.

The Company had an increase in quarter-over-quarter net loss to $1.54 million in Q2 from a net loss of $1.45 million in Q1. The Company had a decrease in net loss per share sequentially, to a net loss of $0.22 per share in Q2 from a net loss of $0.24 per share in Q1. The Company had a net loss of $2.99 million (net loss of $0.47 per share) and a net loss of $1.50 million (net loss of $0.39 per share) for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Company incurred approximately $261,000 of pre-opening expenses in Q2 2014, primarily attributable to two of our restaurant sites in Australia. One of the Australia locations has since opened in Surfers Paradise and the other location in Townsville is expected to open in late September 2014. Management is hopeful that the Company will have positive adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure,*
in the fourth quarter of 2014, although there is no assurance this will occur.

To date, Chanticleer has twenty-five restaurants worldwide, including its most recent opening of a Hooters restaurant in Surfers Paradise, Australia and the acquisition of 60% ownership interest of Australia Hooters franchisee, TMIX Management Australia Pty, Ltd, which includes Hooters restaurants in Parramatta and Penrith, both suburbs of Sydney. The Company continues to build its portfolio of brands/concepts, expecting four additional restaurants by 2014 year end, through organic growth or acquisitions.

Mike Pruitt, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We are pleased with our current growth rate, already exceeding full year 2013 restaurant revenue in just the first six months of 2014. Our brands continue to improve quarter-over-quarter led by our Hooters South Africa market, Hooters Nottingham and Just Fresh. We are excited to see the growth in our Company with our current restaurant portfolio averaging $700,000 in net sales per week for the last several weeks, highlighted by our Surfers Paradise location which has been top three international Hooters location each of the first four weeks of being open. With our top-line growth and continued operating improvements, we are closer to our goal of being adjusted EBITDA positive by year-end."

*Adjusted EBITDA and restaurant EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures - see "Use of Non-GAAP Measures" below and see the reconciliation of GAAP to adjusted EBITDA and restaurant EBITDA in the table accompanying this release.

Use of Non-GAAP MeasuresChanticleer Holdings, Inc. prepares its condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). In addition to disclosing financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP, the Company discloses information regarding adjusted EBITDA and restaurant EBITDA, which differ from the term EBITDA as it is commonly used. In addition to adjusting net income (loss) from continuing operations to exclude taxes, interest, and depreciation and amortization, adjusted EBITDA and restaurant EBITDA also exclude pre-opening costs for our restaurants, non-cash expenses for services, change in fair value of derivative liability and gain on extinguishment of debt. Adjusted EBITDA and restaurant EBITDA are not measures of performance defined in accordance with GAAP. However, adjusted EBITDA and restaurant EBITDA are used internally in planning and evaluating the company's operating performance. Accordingly, management believes that disclosure of these metrics offers investors, bankers and other stakeholders an additional view of the company's operations that, when coupled with the GAAP results, provides a more complete understanding of the Company's financial results.

Adjusted EBITDA and restaurant EBITDA should not be considered as alternatives to net loss or to net cash used in operating activities as a measure of operating results or of liquidity. It may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies, and it excludes financial information that some may consider important in evaluating the company's performance. A reconciliation of GAAP net income (loss) to adjusted EBITDA and restaurant EBITDA is included in the accompanying financial schedules.
